Anyone Work at Time Warner Customer Service?

I now pay $140 for Triple Play. My Manhattan building can't get RCN and dishes are not allowed. What can I say to negotiate a cheaper rate?

• "Are you a top or a bottom?"

• Please hold. Muchas Gracias

• In 1989 I lived at 72nd and West End Ave. Paid 18 bucks a month for cable with a gazillion channels. Can't remember provider.

• r3, then it was Sterling or TelePrompter.

• Yes - call to disconnect and say you are going to Fios.

• Watch all your cable shows on the streaming sites like all the young people are doing. Who fucking pays for cable anymore?

• 140 is a great deal, don't be so cheap.

• $140 is fantastic. I'm paying $225/m to Comcast for their bundle package. I don't even use the damn landline phone either so it's so annoying.

• OP. Say you are switching to netflix and will be using clear for your internet making your total 59.99 a month and unless they want to meet or beat that rate you are cancelling.

• Go there in person, not over the phone. Three months ago, I went to the Time Warner office on 96th & Broadway. I spoke to a customer retention representative. I asked what he could do to lower my bill. I said I see other advertised specials lower than what I pay. Within minutes he reduced my bill substantially. There was no contract/termination fees either. He offered me Showtime, which I didn't really want but I figured I'd cancel it later, it was still lower than what I was paying. Took less than five minutes, afterwards he said "thank you for staying with Time Warner Cable" Triple play $89.95 TWO (2) DVR's (service) $5.00 Showtime $7.95 Total $102.94/month + taxes & fees

  The magic word may be "Verizon"

• Ask for retention dept. threaten to go another carrier. My bill dropped $63. You have to have a record of actually paying your bills.

• Seriously, who has cable anymore?

• Seriously, r12, most people outside your special little world.

• "Seriously, who has cable anymore" Well, people who have cable Internet services many have no other choice for Internet service. But to your point about cable TELEVISION service: I wonder what will happen to cable internet bills when everybody drops their cable television service to watch TV over cable Internet? Any guesses?
